Revelation Bible Study
One of the messages gleaned from Revelation Bible Study is that the end is not the end and by that we mean the end of time and or life on the planet. The Apocalypse sheds more light on the passages in the prophets and in the gospels which speak of the life and the message of God continuing after Jesus' return or parousia. The word parousia means presence. It affirms that Christ is here with believers today.
Obviously, this refers to His spiritual presence. Erroneously, many believers expect a physical bodily return of Christ of the same nature in ...

The kingdom Parable of the Landowner, also called The Parable of the Vineyard is spoken in the last week of Christ's ministry before His death. It was spoken on the occasion of the opposition to Christ's teachings by the Pharisees. The Lord has just warned them that the tax collectors and harlots entered the kingdom of God before they did, citing as proof the events occurring with John the Baptist.

in our public school classroom everyone
morning which involved the class singing
in unison what is typically known as the Lord’s
prayer, See Matt 6:9–13.

coming of the kingdom. In that prayer, Jesus taught ...
